SECRETARY MANNlNG,s MOVE
MENISs
He Will Leave Washington this After.
noon or TO.mOrrOvy Morning.

HUM OF 1O>mOxrOW mOfmhmxs
Secretary Manning viii leave washington this
afternoon or tomorrow morning for New York
and Albany. Nothing DEFINITE could be learned
to-day about the length OF time be intended 10 be
gone or the nature OF his visit AT the sec
retary's Office no Information could be obtained
and 1t was not even acknowledged that he In
tended going away. Notwithstanding the report
was soon circulated throughout the depart
ment that he would 50 away, and
all kinds OF rumors were afioat Some
thought that Mr.. Manning's departure meant
a final retirement from Official life. In the alb
sence OF authentic Information this cannot be de-
MED, but II is assumed that he will again resume
MS duties because there is, as yet, no neces-
Sty Tor him 10 act as president OF the new
national bank. When the bank Is chartered then
ne Will be no longer eligible to act as Secretary OF
the Treasury; that is. II he acts as president OF
the bank. Treasurer Jordan said to-day that
the bank Will not be organized until
IL Is ready to do business and as the time an
nounced Is not until spring there will be no neces
sity for the secretary TO retire until
same law that applies TO the sec
rotary In this matter also affects the Treas
urer, and he has expressed willingness TO remain
In the Treasury until after the fourth OF March.
Matters may be hurried, however, II those inter-
ested 50 desire.
IL Is announced this afternoon that Secretary
Manning viii leave Washington at AIS this AFTER
noon Tor New York, going thence direct 70 Albany
